Coupling systems play a crucial role in the safe and efficient transportation of hydrogen. Walther-Präzision offers special high-pressure couplings, which are used in particular in the filling station infrastructure for fuel cell vehicles.
According to the company, the systems are suitable for various mobility applications, ranging from cars, buses and trucks to rail vehicles. They enable fast refueling with a low pressure drop and are designed for an operating pressure of up to 700 bar and for cold filling gas temperatures (-40°C).
An important aspect of the refueling systems is the integration of safety functions. Break-away couplings are used to quickly and safely disconnect the connection between the vehicle and the refueling station in the event of danger in order to reduce the risk of hydrogen leaks and thus ensure the safety of users and the environment.
Coupling systems also for CO2 transport
CO2 storage, particularly in geological formations, also helps to reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in the long term. Safe and efficient transportation is essential to get the CO2 from the emission sources to the places where it is used or stored. According to the company, coupling systems also play a decisive role here.
Walther-Präzision will therefore not only be presenting its H2 refueling system at Hydrogen & Carbon Capture in Houston, but also coupling solutions that can be used for CO2 transport, for example.
By showcasing these technologies, the company wants to recommend itself for applications in this industry and demonstrate its “expertise and innovative strength”.
